thefarm Veterans Day

Date: 2024-11-11
AO: thefarm
Q: Infinity
PAX: Firehead, Lumbergh, Trolley, Joystick (Orlando), Sparky_The Farm FNGs: None
COUNT: 6
WarmUp: Imperial Walkers, Beet Pickers, Copperhead Squats, Rockettes, Mountain Climbers, and Chinooks.

The Thang: The following rep schemes match the percent each of the total 19 million veterans alive today served in each conflict.
Five rounds of the following, running to each corner of the field after each round: • 1 Balls to Wall for WWII
• 5 Burpees for Korea
• 31 T-Claps, IC, for Vietnam
• 41 Squats for Gulf Wars
• 22 Merkins for Peacetime
• Run to next corner

Mary: Alternate btw WWI (knees bent) and WWII (knees straight) sit-ups, 10 at a time until we reach 100.

Announcements: Lumbergh has Q Wednesday.

CoT: The number of veterans as a percentage of the population is dwindling. Veterans are becoming more rare in our society. My challenge to you is to reach out to a veteran, and rather than simply thanking them for their service, ask them about their service. That way, you will learn something and provide an actual meaningful experience for the veteran.
